Mercedes-Benz has updated the E-class sedan, coupe, cabriolet, and wagon, its best-selling model series of all time, for the 2021 model year, and it’s only slightly more expensive. The mid-cycle refresh included redesigned front and rear ends, new touch-sensitive steering wheels, a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, the latest MBUX infotainment system, and a new inline-six engine. The 2021 E-class will start at $55,300 when it goes on sale in the U.S. at the end of this year.
The 2021 E-class comes in five different models: the E350 and E450, which are both available with Mercedes’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive; the all-wheel-drive E450 All Terrain wagon; and the high-performance AMG-tuned E53 and E63 S. Unlike the new S-class, which dropped its coupe and cabriolet models, the E450 and Mercedes-AMG E53 are available as both two-door and droptop versions.
The base E350 sedan, powered by a 255-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, starts at $55,300, and all-wheel drive adds an additional $2500. The E450 sedan, which is solely available with all-wheel drive and uses the new 362-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a 48-volt hybrid system, starts at $63,050. It’s also available as a coupe model starting at $66,000— $68,500 with all-wheel drive—and a cabriolet starting at $73,000, or $75,500 with all-wheel drive. The E450 All Terrain wagon starts at $68,650.
Mercedes-AMG also got its hands on the new E-class, and there are two high-performance variants: the 429-hp E53 and the 603-hp E63 S. The E53 is available in sedan ($74,950), coupe ($77,300), and cabriolet ($83,900) models, powered by an AMG-tuned version of the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. The more powerful E63 S is offered in sedan ($108,550) and wagon ($113,500) models and uses AMG’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8.
Mercedes is also adding a plug-in-hybrid E350e model to the E-class lineup but has not announced pricing or when it will arrive in the U.S. Both the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-class models and the high-performance AMG-tuned models will go on sale in the U.S at the end of the year.
